CyberpowerPC Ultra 550 overview

1Description

The Gamer Ultra GUA550 Gaming Desktop from CyberpowerPC is built for those who wish to take gaming and multimedia performance to the next level, while also having a system that can perform daily tasks such as document creation and editing, E-mail, and Internet browsing. The GUA550 runs on a 3.5 GHz AMD Vishera FX-6300 Six-Core processor, allowing you to run multiple applications simultaneously. If you need more power, the CPU also features a burst speed of up to 4.1 GHz.

The 16GB of DDR3 RAM allows the computer to run multiple applications simultaneously and also to access frequently-used files and programs. The current memory configuration is 2 x 8GB 240-pin DIMM modules. As the GUA550 supports a maximum memory capacity of 16GB, its RAM may not be upgraded any further. For long-term storage of your files, a 2TB 7200 rpm SATA III hard drive offers quick access to your data.

If you want to add external storage drives, printers, memory card readers, or other peripherals, the GUA550 features eight USB 2.0 ports and one PS/2 port. For users who wish to add additional components to the drive bays, the GUA550 features one external 5.25" drive bay and three internal 3.5" / 2.5" combo drive bays. The dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 graphics card has 2GB of discrete video memory. It delivers a sharp, clear picture while allowing for a wide range of monitors to be used via its DVI and HDMI ports. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek HD ALC887 outputs high definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers.

The Gamer Ultra GUA550 Gaming Desktop operates using an included 600W power adapter that runs at 120/230 VAC and 50/60 Hz. Also included with this system is a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a power cord. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Home (64-bit) and it is backed by a limited 1-year warranty and lifetime toll free technical support.

Start Menu

After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items

Cortana

Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills

Microsoft Edge

After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With it, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser

Windows Store

For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically

Windows Continuum

Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well

Xbox on Windows 10

Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift
